... With the BartPE Enabler Tool, you can use X-Setup Pro on a bootable CD-ROM created by the freely available BartPE system. This means, you can put X-Setup Pro on a CD, boot this CD on any computer and tweak the settings without even installing X-Setup Pro. This can also be a huge help for repairing a misbehaving system.

Network administrator will love X-Setup Pro Recording. Simply turn recording on, change the settings you want and it generates a *.REG file on the fly that can be deployed to thousands of computers without installing X-Setup Pro.

X-Setup Pro uses XML-based plugins - they are very small (3-6 kB) so updating them is easy too. You can always view the source for any plug-in, and even create your own plugins or wizards and use them in X-Setup Pro.

Neither were all those discounted licenses that they sold on May 6th through Bits du Jour . I mean, they apparently shut down on the 15th of May according to the BdJ comments. I'm sure they had no idea that was in the works when they were selling licenses through them.

It is always time to learn something new. And this certainly was new to me even it was from half a century ago:

WUG

Wug test

The wug test is an experiment in linguistics, created by Jean Berko Gleason in 1958. It was designed as a way to investigate the acquisition of the plural and other inflectional morphemes in English-speaking children.

There are three plural allomorphs in English:

* /z/, the most general form (dogs, pronounced /ˈdɒɡz/) * /s/, which appears after voiceless consonants (cats, /ˈkæts/) * /ɨz/, which appears after sibilants (horses, /ˈhɔrsɨz/).

The child is presented with a drawing of an unfamiliar creature, often blue and bird-like,[1][2] and told, "This is a wug." Another wug is revealed, and the researcher says, "Now there are two of them. There are two...?" Children who have successfully acquired the allomorph /z/ of the plural morpheme will respond: wugs /ˈwʌɡz/.

Very young children are baffled by the question and are unable to answer correctly, sometimes responding with "Two wug."

I found this post from TeX on the MG forum that explains better what happened, and also explains what WUG is:

Howdy!

Now this is what you call a bad start: My first post to the MG forums and it’s about why we shut down X-Setup Pro

Thanks for the encouragements we have receive in the last days, we highly appreciate this.

Now to clear up that "WUG" confusion: It is NOT the Windows User Group it was, "Windmeier UG" the company of Eric. UG is a German registered company, like LLC or Inc. in the US. Don’t ask me why, but our lawyer recommended it to write it that way.

And finally a question: Would it be possible that MG could host the portable and U3 version of XSP also? I’m getting a lot of requests about this. I know we can’t support XSP anymore, but given the requests I receive I think it would help some users.
